As golf fans thrilled to Bubba Watson's dramatic playoff victory Sunday in the Master's golf tournament, the last thing on their minds was Martha Burk, former head of something called the National Council of Women's Organizations. Lately, she's a frequent blogger on the left-wing Huffington Post. Last week, this insufferable nag resurfaced on the national stage, seeking to resurrect her ...

I don't understand women's obsession with destroying all-male environments. It feels like a perverted psychological fear that men will be free of female influence for a few peaceful moments of their lives.

It's not fairness. There are now women-only hotel floors, women-only colleges, women-only golf leagues, women-only gyms, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Women use the men's room as back up and female reporters can get into male locker rooms. About the only thing left that's male-only is Augusta. But that's too much for the radfems, at any rate.

The fact that you say it's "women's obsession" rather than SOME women's obsession, is telling.

Who cares what liberal activists want? If people don't like what the private club does don't cover the golf tournament and don't support there advertisers.

Thr golf club is on private property. Who cares what those rich fools really do in there private lives. Does this also mean that these activist groups don't support women only clubs and schools as well?

Burk, at age 70, can't seem to let go of 1960s feminism. She and her boosters in the liberal media — like Katie Couric

When will these silly women like Couric and Burk finally come to the realization there are, and will always be separate organizations for each. I'm sure I would not be granted full membership in NOW. (National Organization for Women) And that's as it should be!

Rosen has finally addressed a topic that is as trivial as his views- golf. Old farts in silly little outfits conspicuously spending lots of money while hitting a little ball at "exclusive" clubs. Very impressive.

How about a trade?No more affirmative action and special programs where women are given advantages over men for jobs, may the most qualified person get the job regardless of gender, and then support for women joining the Augusta Golf Club would increase.

I agree with you, Mike! And guess what....I am a woman. Women have their private cllubs, beauty contests, organizations and privileges. Why do they think they have to infiltrate everything that belongs to the guys? I am very comfortable in my own skin and my gender and do not feel the need to stick my nose in to prove a point. I have my own 'mojo' going and lots of it!

"It is not right for you to have something that I don't so that must be discrimination".

Part of the problem is that some have turned the word discrimination into an ALWAYS evil thing while we and they discriminate all the time - We all discriminate in our personal preferences like the foods we eat, how we recreate and who we want to hang around with.

I just hope Augusta sticks by it's guns and doesn't cave to the radicals and Obama. But, being an election year, and a President who will buy votes by any means, wanna bet that someone will propose legislation to "fix" Augusta.

We will have yet another "cure" that is worse than the perceived "illness."

I hate PC thuggery as much as the next person, but while reading this paleo-conservative article, I couldn't help but notice how much it sounds like a 60's era rant against those "uppity colored folk".

Read the article again, but replace the word "women" or "female" with "black". Mike, as always, you help illustrate why conservatives are on the losing side of history.

Well ...... Obama does spend an awful lot of time at golf clubs playing golf.

I agree With you - Mike is a ...bag of the worst kind. He has chosen to forget or mention what happened when Tiger Woods qualified for his first Masters Tournament - oh, not so long ago ..blacks were not allowed in Augusta ... just like our racist brothers here in Cherry Creek and do you remember Mikey what happened to the Denver Country Club when a black "Web' became the mayor - no blacks were allowed in the DCC either! Ah racism ... how it flourishes and how it's glorified by the worst in our society ... next editorial by Mike - Why Charles Manson should be made a National Hero!

Yawn. Same old same old. When the left has no answer to an argument, they charge racism.

As usual Mike has seen the Augusta situation as an opportunity to flog liberals. The fact is a private club has the right to offer or refuse membership to whomever it wants, whether others approve or disapprove. The overall trend is toward a relaxation of restrictions, and that's fine. The clubs themselves have the right to make the final decision.
